Drugs and the Demonic: Satanic Sacraments
We know from Scripture that Satan and his demons are active in the world. They can tempt us. They can blind people. They can possess people.

An Introduction to the Psalter
Prologue Can music change the world? In the 1960s, rock stars thought so, and styled themselves as cultural prophets.

Christian Imperialism
Given our action in Venezuela, perhaps it’s time for Christian nationalism to give way to Christian colonialism, or even Christian imperialism. There have been Christian colonizers and empires in history, just as there have been Christian nations. A good case can be made that when Christian nations colonized (and at least to some degree, Christianized)…

JESUS’ BAPTISM — THE FOUNT OF LIFE: A Study in Biblical and Practical Theology
[These are Sunday School notes from a class taught during Epiphany, 2004.] Introductory Note: January 6 is Epiphany in the traditional church calendar.

In C. S. Lewis’ Last Battle, Queen Lucy says, “In our world too, a stable once had something inside it that was bigger than our whole world.” Christmas is about the Creator becoming a creature in order to redeem his creatures. It’s about the God of Israel becoming the perfect Israelite to fulfill Israel’s mission…
